MN DNR is Spending Some $$$

Some positive news

https://b105country.com/minnesota-dnr-building-shore-fishing-piers-on-17-more-lakes/

wasn’t there recently a thread here where everyone was losing their minds about the increased boat registration fees that were funding programs like this?

There was, and I think the consensus was that if the money would be well spent that most guys had no problem with it (including myself)

That was a weirdly written story. They say $150 million invested in “Get out More”, yet then say $5million in shore fishing. Is the $60million for hatchery’s included in Get out More?

If so, where is the other $85million going? If not where is the other $145milly going? Timmy’s bank account?

So does all the MN DNR fees go into the States’ general fund then reallocated back to the DNR? If so, wonder how many fingers are in that cookie jar

I thought the same thing Munchy, but Bob FM ain’t exactly the NYT either…

Here’s the DNR page with all the projects.

Ahhh, that makes it a little bit clearer, I guess.

I even followed the link at the end of the story and it just talked about hatcheries, nothing to do with anything else.
